WWE United States Champion Dolph Ziggler is getting praised backstage regarding how he comes across like a star in his interviews. Also, Ziggler got marks for carrying Mason Ryan in their recent match.

There’s an inside joke going around this week that Randy Orton will win the 2012 Royal Rumble but Vince McMahon will change that plan once he’s reminded the Rumble is in Orton’s hometown of St. Louis.
